What Clarke Schmidt needs to do to crack the playoff rotation
Briefly

Clarke Schmidt's return to the mound after a three and a half month absence signifies a potential resurgence for the Yankees as they approach postseason play.
Schmidt's encouraging performance against the Cubs, needing just 75 pitches for 4.2 scoreless innings, demonstrated his ability to reclaim an integral role in the Yankees' rotation.
With the Yankees needing to narrow their pitching options for the postseason, Schmidt's upcoming starts against the Red Sox and others will be crucial for establishing his position.
The competition for postseason starts will be fierce, with Schmidt vying against notable pitchers while also having to maintain performance consistency to secure his spot.
